[PATCH 0/5] PM / devfreq: remove modular references from non-modules

[Paul Gortmaker]

For anyone new to the underlying goal of this cleanup, we are trying to
not use module support for code that can never be built as a module since:

 (1) it is easy to accidentally write unused module_exit and remove code
 (2) it can be misleading when reading the source, thinking it can be
     modular when the Makefile and/or Kconfig prohibit it
 (3) it requires the include of the module.h header file which in turn
     includes nearly everything else, thus adding to CPP overhead.
 (4) it gets copied/replicated into other code and spreads like weeds.

We have already merged over 100 of these for mainline to date, so there
is really nothing new to see here, in terms of the type of change.

That said, devfreq changes seen here cover the following categories:

  -just replacement of modular macros with their non-modular
   equivalents that CPP would have inserted anyway

  -the removal of including module.h ; replaced with init.h
   and/or export.h as required based on whether the file used it.

  -the removal of any/all unused/orphaned __exit functions that
   would never be called.

  -the removal of any ".remove" functions that were hooked into
   the driver struct.   This ".remove" function would of
   course not be called from the __exit function since that was
   never run.  However in theory, someone could have triggered it
   via sysfs unbind, even though there isn't a sensible use case
   for doing so.  So to cover that possibility, we've also disabled
   sysfs unbind in the driver.

There are no initcall level changes here; everything stays at the level
of initcall it was previously - either by not using modular versions to
begin with, or by using the builtin level equivalents.

Build tested for arm and arm64 allmodconfig (for which all the drivers
touched here get coverage) on the linux-next tree from today to ensure
no silly typos crept in.

If there is a desire for any of these to be modular, we can definitely
consider that, but by default the changes here keep the code consistent
with existing behaviour.  Thus I do not expand functionality into the
modular realm that I can't run time test, or even know if the modular
instance has a sensible modular use case.

Paul.

[PATCH 1/5] PM / devfreq: make devfreq explicitly non-modular

[Paul Gortmaker]

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:

menuconfig PM_DEVFREQ
      bool "Generic Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) support"

...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.

Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that
when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.

This code wasn't using module_init, so we don't need to be concerned
with altering the initcall level here.

We also delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag etc. since all that information
is already contained at the top of the file in the comments.

We don't replace module.h with init.h since the file already has that.
But we do add export.h since this file does export some symbols.

[Paul Gortmaker]

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:

devfreq/Kconfig:config ARM_EXYNOS_BUS_DEVFREQ

...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.

Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that

Also note that MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE is a no-op for non-modular code.

We also delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag etc. since all that information

Re: [PATCH 0/5] PM / devfreq: remove modular references from non-modules

[Chanwoo Choi]

Hi Paul,

It is good for devfreq/devfreq-event framework(patch1/patch2).

But, I think that the device driver (patch3/4/5) should change
the type from 'bool' to 'tristate' instead of using the .

Thanks,
Chanwoo Choi

[PATCH v2 0/5] PM / devfreq: make module code usage consistent.

[Paul Gortmaker]

For anyone new to the underlying goal of this cleanup, we are trying to
not use module support for code that can never be built as a module since:

 (1) it is easy to accidentally write unused module_exit and remove code
 (2) it can be misleading when reading the source, thinking it can be
     modular when the Makefile and/or Kconfig prohibit it
 (3) it requires the include of the module.h header file which in turn
     includes nearly everything else, thus adding to CPP overhead.
 (4) it gets copied/replicated into other code and spreads like weeds.

We have already merged lots of these for mainline to date, so there
is really nothing new to see here, in terms of the type of change.

That said, devfreq changes seen here cover the following categories:

  -just replacement of modular macros with their non-modular
   equivalents that CPP would have inserted anyway

  -the removal of including module.h ; replaced with init.h
   and export.h as required based on whether the file used it.

  -the removal of the unused __exit functions that would never
   be called.

  -the conversion of 3 bool Kconfig to tristate to reflect the
   module author's intended or re-evaluated choice. (new in v2).

There are no initcall level changes here; everything stays at the level
of initcall it was previously; simply by the fact that it was not
using modular versions to begin with.

Build tested for arm and arm64 allmodconfig (for which all the drivers
touched here get coverage) on the linux-next tree from Fri. to ensure
no silly typos crept in.

The three drivers converted from bool to trisate are done as per
Chanwoo's request.  I have confirmed they build and modpost to a
.ko file but I don't have the hardware to test module loading
and/or any other runtime behaviour.

Paul.
